Abstract

Hypertension is quantitatively the largest risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is growing in prevalence, and is poorly controlled. Prevention of hypertension is possible and treatment can control hypertension in almost all patients with consequent marked reductions in stroke and myocardial infarctions. In the paper, authors presents selected milestones in the history of hypertension research. Arterial Hypertension 2007, vol. 11, no 4, pages 350-356.
